Shop birthday flowers
This is the full birthday flower range: bouquets, vase arrangements and single-variety designs, gathered and sent from our own studios. Most people arrive here with a date in mind and a budget in mind, so the two things worth knowing first are that prices start around R270 and that same-day delivery depends on ordering before 12pm.
How much do birthday flowers cost?
From R270, with a mid-point of R805. Prices checked 10 August 2026, taken from the lowest variant price of each product in this collection. More than half the range sits between R500 and R1,200. Above that you are into large statement bouquets and luxury arrangements, up to R9,005 for the biggest peony design, rather than a bigger version of the same thing.
What the birthday flower range covers
Three formats sit in this range and they suit different recipients. Wrapped bouquets such as the Pretty in Pink Flower Bouquet at R560 and the Sunkissed Yellow Bouquet at R690 need a vase at the other end. Vase arrangements such as Glee in a Jar at R595 and the Summer Delight Posy Box at R750 arrive ready to display. Florist-choice designs such as the Florist Choice Bouquet at R625 let our team build with whatever came in freshest that morning, which is usually the best value in the range.
Above R1,000 the range moves into statement pieces: the Brilliantly Happy Bouquet at R1,390 and the Cape Town Protea Bouquet at R1,075 both carry a birthday on their own without needing a gift alongside. Our guide to choosing a bouquet works through the same decision, and our flower care guide covers keeping them going once they arrive.
Choosing birthday flowers
Start with the relationship, not the flower. For a colleague or a friend of a friend, something bright and mid-sized reads as warm without being loaded. For a partner, a parent or a close friend, scale is the signal, and it is worth going up a size rather than adding an extra item. If you know their flower, go straight to it: our flower arrangements arrive in their own vase if the recipient is at an office or a hospital and will not have one to hand, and our flower bouquets cover the wrapped format.
Birthday roses
Roses carry a message the rest of the range does not, so they get their own page. Red roses read as romance, which makes them the wrong choice for a friend, a mother or a colleague and the right choice for a partner. For everyone else, pink, yellow, white or mixed roses say celebration without the subtext. Our birthday roses page sets out which colour suits which relationship, with prices from R270.
Birthday flowers for mum
Birthday flowers for mum are the single most requested delivery we handle, and the choice that matters most is scale rather than variety. Mothers tend to keep flowers in the main room of the house, so a fuller bouquet in one or two colours reads better than a mixed posy. Soft pastels and pinks are the safest palette; our pink roses and sunflowers both work for a birthday that falls in a grey month. For the gift side rather than the flower side, our birthday gifts for her range covers hampers and gift boxes, and our birthday wishes for mom collection has wording for the card, alongside our wider birthday message guide.
Birthday flower delivery
Eligible fresh flowers are delivered same day to most Cape Town and Johannesburg suburbs when you order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday. Delivery eligibility varies by product, so the product page is the final word before you check out. If you are sending outside those two cities, see send flowers online South Africa for what travels further.
Frequently asked questions
How much are birthday flowers?
From R270, with more than half the range between R500 and R1,200, as at 10 August 2026. Each product page carries the current price.
Can birthday flowers be delivered the same day?
Yes, on eligible products ordered before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, to most Cape Town and Johannesburg suburbs. Eligibility varies by product.
What flowers are best for a birthday?
There is no single right answer, but bright mixed bouquets suit most birthdays, roses suit romantic ones, and a vase arrangement suits anyone who will not have a vase to hand.
What flowers do you send mum for her birthday?
Send mum a fuller bouquet in one or two colours rather than a mixed posy, because mothers usually display flowers in the main room of the house where scale shows. Soft pinks and pastels are the safest palette, and sunflowers lift a birthday in a grey month. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Are roses a good birthday flower?
Roses are a good birthday flower as long as the colour fits the relationship. Send red roses only to a partner, because red reads as romance. Pink, yellow, white and mixed roses all read as celebration, which makes them the right choice for a friend, a parent or a colleague. Our roses page covers each colour in full.
Can I send birthday flowers for delivery on the day itself?
Yes. Order before 12pm on the birthday for same-day delivery on eligible products, or place the order in advance and choose the date at checkout.
Do you deliver birthday flowers outside Cape Town and Johannesburg?
Fresh flower delivery is built around those two cities. For the rest of the country, see send flowers online South Africa.
What else can I send with birthday flowers?
Cakes, gift boxes, hampers and balloons are all available. Browse the wider birthday gifts range to add something alongside the flowers, or the cakes range for a same-day birthday cake in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
